I designed these materials for my students, but anyone may feel free to use them, if they'd like. There is also a handout in musicology which I prepared carefully with the help of friends online. Click on "Further Discussion: Contemporary Musicology." I queried a number of forums regarding the Musicology handout, and musicologists from all over the planet jumped into the discussion, resulting in hundreds of emails. I think the discussion is still going on! The contemporary era is difficult to evaluate because we're too close to it.
